Cotton industry was established Accepted: by British government especially in Lyallpur which was August 31, 2018 renowned as the greatest industry of Pakistan. Cotton the white Online: gold enhanced the position of spindles and spinning industry. December 30, 2018 These industries played important role in the economy of Keywords: Pakistan generally and especially in Lyallpur, a city of Punjab. Cotton, Spinning, Library research has been used to analyze the growth of cotton Economy, processing and spinning industry in Lyallpur. Primary and Development, secondary sources were used to draw a rational conclusion. This Industry study observed that due to vague strategy of governments the Corresponding cotton industry faced problems in growth. Heavy taxes were Author: imposed on production of cotton industry and many taxes were robinakhan101@o also imposed on the imports of industrial machinery. This study utlook.com recommends that government should reserve a special budget for industry. Machinery and industry must be given rebate on imports and exclusion of taxable income. Introduction Faisalabad city is not only famous for cultivation but also well known for its industries; cotton, wheat, flour, sugarcane, beverages, vegetables, oil seed, fruits, repair yards, engineering works, and ghee. It is also treated as Centre of industry due to mills that process sugar, cotton, silk, textiles, hosiery, dyes, industrial chemicals, clothing, pulp, paper, printing, agricultural equipment etc. Faisalabad is also producer of superphosphates which is used in making of fertilizers and as leaving agent. Due to its vast industrial sector Faisalabad is known as “Manchester of Pakistan” (Christophe, 2002). Cotton Processing and Spinning Industry in Pakistan: A Case Study of Lyallpur City Textile industry of Pakistan contributes approximately a sum of 5.2 billion US Dollars these days which are more than60 percent in total exports of the country. In exports Lyallpur make 45% of its contribution in total output of the country. There are 1,221 textiles ginning and 442 spinning units are present. Cotton was one of the four major cash crops of Pakistan it is also known as “King Cotton” and “white gold”. Cotton was mostly grown in Punjab and Sindh especially in Lyallpur. Pakistan government established the CEC (Cotton Export Corporation of Pakistan) in 1974 for check and balance of cotton industry. Pakistan is the 4th largest cotton producer and consumer. The cotton industry is also a cause of better economy. It is true that main part of economy is based upon textile sector but textile also never can be produced without cotton. So it can be said that cotton is a principal crop. If we talk about industrial development in Lyallpur, on the eve of partition only 16 textile mills fell to the share of Pakistan. There were 177,418 spindles and 4824 looms, small amount of cotton, spinning, hosiery, and agricultural engineering and oil industry at Lyallpur. Spinning is a major part of the textile manufacturing process in textile industry. There are three steps in which fiber converted into yarn, then fabrics, and after that singeing, desizing, washing, equalizing bleaching, dying, printing and finishing process occurs to make a textile (McCallum, 1993). These textiles are used in garments, home textiles, clothes and other products. In Lyallpur clothes were made of rayon, acetate, triacetate, nylons and polyesters. These fibers collected from sheep, goat, rabbit, silk-worm, asbestos, cotton, flax, sisal, flax, hemp, jute. The way of spinning was: Ring-spinning, air-jet spinning, open-end spinning, electrostatic spinning, hand spinning and wheel-spinning. For proper check and balance of industrial sector in Faisalabad provincial Government and industrialists structured a chamber. That is named as “Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce” which monitors Industry and all industrial activities in the city. It reports their findings to the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. With comparison of the country Faisalabad's average annual GDP is $20.55 billion (USD) and its contribution towards country’s annual GDP is about more than 20% (Loyd, 2016). In this contribution about 21% comes from cotton, wheat, sugarcane, vegetables, fruits and agricultural land. Faisalabad is famous due to its large textile industry in all over the Pakistan as well as world, so about half of Pakistan’s total textile shipments are made by Faisalabad (Farhan, 2016). In 1947 the economy of Pakistan was much effected due to unbalanced distribution of wealth and therefore it has emerged as a semi-industrialized one so it based upon on majorly on textiles, agriculture and food production. Instead of 2 Pakistan Social Sciences Review (PSSR) December, 2018 Volume 2, Issue 1 this all of these things get through technological issues in recent years of Pakistan. Textiles supported at large scale to economy of Pakistan because country had more export earnings from this field. Average inflation Rate in Pakistan was 7.99 percent from 1957 to 2015 but if we see the highest rate of inflation it was 37.81 percent in December 1973 and at the lowest one -10.32 percent in February 1959. It was Ayub Khan’s era in Pakistan when economy grown up to 5.82% during his eleven years regime. It was the highest growth phase of Pakistan in manufacturing about 8.51% and it was never ever being done in the history of Pakistan. At that time Pakistan also got his first automobile industry, cement industry and other heavy manufacturing industries. Before and after independence of Pakistan, it has been seen that this area was an agrarian area and caused economic strength since its independence. In 1947, 62% of GDP was agricultural based and it contributed more than other things like manufacturing sector which contribution was only 7% in GDP. Automobile industry, cement industry, engineering industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Leather Industry, Textile Industry, Gems and jewelry Industry, Oil and Gas Industry, chemical industry, fashion industry, food and beverages industry, Tobacco Industry, Energy Industry, Construction Industry, Sugar Industry, also were at minor level. Development of Cotton industry in Lyallpur Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. Pakistan has fortune regarding to cotton industry because the land is much sufficient for production of cotton. Cotton had produced in Indo-Pak till 3000 BCE but we will discuss cotton production and its industry in Pakistan from 1947-1977. Cotton is one of the basic cash crops in Pakistan and had 4th rank in the world exports. It is a major crop regarding to crops of Pakistan as well as in the world.

When India and Pakistan got independence from British Raj then unequal distribution of wealth held and due to this Pakistan faced a lot of problems. The weak system of economy needed a lot of time to establish itself. This had become possible with the help of different exports in which cotton had also contributed its main part. Government of Pakistan as well as public also tried to improve the infrastructure of the industry. The industrial development was made under different projects and the progress was been done with the short span of time. Industrial zones were made in Punjab and Sindh especially at Karachi and Lyallpur. The progress in cotton textile industry was also made because cotton and cotton product was most valuable products of Pakistan at that time. The progress in installation of cotton industry was as follow (Textile commissioner, 1955): Progress in installation of cotton looms, their production, imports and cloth consumptions Capacity at Cloth the end of Production Imports consumptions the year Year Cloth Surplus Cloth Yarn Total Per bales yarn bales Looms bales (million capita (1500 bales (1500 (400lbs) yards) (yards) yards) (1400lbs) yards) 1947 4,824 74,000 Nil N.A N.A N.A N.A 1948 4,824 58,705 15,506 97,044 74,650 377.9 5.2 1949 5,330 61,632 23,150 179,153 178,865 684.4 9.2 1950 5,330 70,443 37,192 254,953 185,098 843.8 11.2 1951 5,904 85,112 48,037 245,169 201,400 894.4 11.6 1952 9,318 118,209 56,040 233,831 155,000 865.7 11.0 1953 11,911 167,751 133,674 10,144 66,200 586.7 7.3 1954 18,421 231,906 251,125 66,073 62,500 937.2 11.5 1955 26,000 302,156 384,170 19,925 8,711 1095.5 13.4 Source: Office of the textile commissioner; Textile industry year book, 1955.

  • The Determinants of Capital Structure of the Chemical Industry in Pakistan
    The Lahore Journal of Economics 13 : 1 (Summer 2008): pp. 139-158 The Determinants of Capital Structure of the Chemical Industry in Pakistan Muhammad Rafiq∗, Asif Iqbal∗∗, Muhammad Atiq∗∗∗ Abstract This study is an attempt to determine the capital structure of listed firms in the chemical industry of Pakistan. The study finds that by studying a specific industry's capital structure, one can ascertain unique attributes, which are usually not apparent in the combined analysis of many sectors as done by Shah and Hijazi (2004). This study analyzed 26 of 39 firms in the chemical sector, listed at the Karachi Stack Exchange for the period 1993-2004 using pooled regression in a panel data analysis. Six regressors i.e. firm size, tangibility of assets, profitability, income variation, non-debt tax shield (NDTS) and growth were employed to examine their effects on leverage. The results show that these six independent variables explain 90% of variation in the dependent variable and, except for firm tangibility, results were found to be highly significant. The study has policy implications of importance for researchers, investors, analysts and managers. JEL Classification: C13, C23, C51, L65 Keywords: Chemical, Panel Data, Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan 1. Introduction A firm can combine different proportions of debt and equity in an attempt to increase the market value of the firm and is recognized as capital structure of the firm. Firms differ with respect to capital structure which has given birth to different capital structure theories in an attempt by researchers to explain variation in capital structure over time or across regions.

China needs a short, safe and inexpensive trading route to European and Middle Eastern countries. The aim of the study is to verify if CPEC is a viable solution to the need. The study analyzes the impact of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on trade in terms of the shipping costs and transit time. Transport and infrastructure are called strategic levers of trade as they help in reducing the shipping costs and transit time. In the modern era, organizations want to reduce the shipping costs and transit time to maximize profit and ensure timely delivery of product. The focal point of the thesis is to study the importance of CPEC and its impact on import and export in terms of costs and transit time. Besides, this study compares existing route with proposed route. The re- search methodology used in the study follows qualitative and descriptive approach. In this study, dry port Kashgar (western China) has been taken as origin and three ports of each European and Middle Eastern countries are taken as destinations. The destination ports which have been selected in this study are key trading players with the port of origin.
